The August 1999 cabaret show (seen at the famed Oak Room) was conceived and performed by pianist Eric Comstock, vocalist Christopher Gines and vocalist Hilary Kole. Stamm and Maltby helped shape this version, making some cuts and adding a couple of different tunes.

Stamm told Playbill On-Line Dec. 8 that the production celebrates some of the lesser-played Sinatra works, rather than ubiquitous hits such as "New York, New York."

"We're steering clear of the stuff that is so cliched," said Stamm, "but there are hints of the hits in some places. It's more about digging in and finding the hidden gems, finding the orphan songs that weren't known until he recorded them." Consequently, listen for "These Foolish Things," "To Love and Be Loved," "Without a Song" and "How Do You Keep the Music Playing?"

Stamm, who is an artistic associate of Maltby's, first heard the trio when popular song historian Jonathan Schwartz recommended the performers for a Maltby-directed tribute to Jimmy Van Heusen in the Lincoln Center "American Songbook" series in October.
